Thanks Big Dale

I have a lot of your foam spiders (gurglers with legs) acquired from swaps.
I fished one of your black spiders today and it served me very well. Hung
it in a tree a couple of times, but got it back and will use it again next
week.

The gurgler swap is still on and I'll make a real announcement next week.

BD is a helluva guy and generous, to boot. A couple of years ago Willi
and I were commiserating about the drought, low flows, and the necessity of
pond fishing; BD took heart and sent us each a fat box full of gorgeous foam
panfish patterns. Damn near caused the extermination of bluegills in
northern Colorado.

Here are a few photos of the fish Stan and I were catching:

The middle one is my favorite because it makes the fish look big. These
were all pretty small fish, but we had a lot of fun canoeing and fishing
gurglers and spiders. I don't think we went five or ten minutes without catching
fish, and many times it was every cast. Stan calls it "instant gratification fly
fishing" and it is just that.

Notice the colors in the reflection of the trees on the water. You may have
thought I was exaggerating in my last TR when I said the leaves were near
chartreuse in color, but you can see for yourself it's true. It was a great day,
good company, and a few good beers at the end to give it that warm afterglow.

Pretty little fish, and I'd bet I'm not the only one who appreciates
that you didn't post links to photos of you and Stan in Speedos. ;-)

Nice post. Cute fish. This one will agree.

Hey, where's the sand and mud in the bottom? Where's the spilled Dr
Pepper and the drip water from the paddles? Last time I was in a
canoe that clean it was a rental at the start of the weekend.

Often taunted by trout.
Only a fool would refuse to believe in luck. Only a damn fool would rely on it.

All that stuff you mentioned is there, but right at my feet. Actually, it's
a new canoe that I've only used twice. The ambiance will improve with age.
